The wine tools I actually use as a sommelier

No affiliate links—just advice on what is worth your money, and what isn’t.

There are a lot of wine gadgets out there, and I’m here to be completely honest with you: most of them are cluttering your house.

For this reason, I know I would make a horrible wine influencer. I can’t sit in front of a camera with a straight face and tell you to buy more products or gadgets that would be cluttering drawers that you don’t actually need, all so I can make a little more cash.

Truthfully, I don’t think you need much when it comes to enjoying wine at home. As someone who works in wine, I turn to the same few tools over-and-over, and I have not found the need to expand my collection of things.

So what are the few tools I actually recommend? It isn’t much, but if you’re looking to get into wine, these are worth the investment.
